One look at Alia Bhatt’s filmography in the last few years, and you can see that the 25-year-old has taken calculated risks in her career. After delivering a stellar performance in Gully Boy opposite Ranveer Singh, she will soon be seen in Kalank and Brahmastra, both of which, in her own words, is “layered characters.” And now, she has yet again picked another challenging part.
Alia has given the green signal to the Arunima Sinha biopic that has been in the planning for the last few years. The latter is the first female amputee to scale Mount Everest. Says a source, “Arunima’s life has been an inspiration to many across the globe and what she has managed isn’t just an ordinary feat. When makers approached her to make a film on her and told her they were planning to get Alia on board, she was excited.” On the other hand, it was a quick “yes” from the Raazi actress, too. “It’s an incredible tale. Alia studied her story and gave her nod to the project. Although the producers haven’t locked her dates yet, given that her diary is packed with other film commitments, they expect to begin the project in 2020,” adds our source.
Along with Alia, there’s another interesting addition to the project. The insider informs, “Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions will bankroll the project. Alia will have to do different kinds of prep for the film. Firstly, she will be playing an amputee on-screen, also they plan to shoot in real locations at Mount Everest, which will require proper training, too.”
